Trains to Haymarket - Station Details and further Information on Haymarket Train Services
Haymarket train station is in Haymarket, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is Edinburgh's second largest station after Waverley, a major commuter and long-distance destination, located quite centrally near the West End. Trains from the station serve much of Scotland west and north of Edinburgh (including Fife and Glasgow), and local lines to the east, and the trunk route down the west coast of England.
The station has four through platforms and, since December 2006, one bay platform on the north side of the station. As a general rule, trains to/from stations across the Forth Rail Bridge make use of platforms 1 and 2 (the non-electrified lines on the left of the photograph), with trains to/from Glasgow and the West Coast Main Line using platforms 3 & 4. The bay platform (platform 0) was built for services terminating at Haymarket while major engineering works were taking place at Waverley station.
The station is now listed amongst the most congested on the Scottish railway network due to rapid increases in passenger numbers (see usage data to the right). The Network Rail Business Plan 2007 suggests that options for remodelling passenger facilities at the station are to be considered during the period of the plan.
Murrayfield Stadium and Haymarket TMD are both located to the west of the station, on the north side of the railway. |
